This writing program was developed by experienced teachers
Barbara Getty and Inga
Dubay, in response to the
difficulty many children encounter in the transition from the ball and
stick printed letterforms to the looped cursive. The child initially
learns the basic italic printed letterforms followed by the cursive
italic through a series of joins, eliminating the need to learn two
distinctly different types of handwriting, as is the case with the ball
and stick printing and looped cursive most often taught in schools.
The main philosophy behind the
Getty-DubayTM
Italic Handwriting Series
is to teach children and adults a legible
handwriting method that is retained over time. The root of the
letterform is used, nothing more, resulting in a crisp, clear
handwriting that is as simple as it is elegant.
We believe italic is the best possible method available to teach
legible handwriting to children and
adults.
It will retain its practical value as a lifetime communication tool no
matter how it is used. Italic handwriting is distinctive and
surprisingly easy to teach and learn. Once you try it, no other
handwriting will compare with its simplicity, legibility and beauty.

And for adults... WRITE NOW The Complete Program for Better Handwriting
by Barbara Getty and Inga Dubay
Teach yourself to write legibly and efficiently with an easy-to-write style
that’s as distinctive as it is simple.
 After creating the Italic Handwriting Series, it was discovered that many
adults wanted a book dedicated to their specific needs, and
Write Now A Complete
Self-Teaching Program for Better Handwriting
was born.
Revised in March 2005, the new edition, Write Now : The Complete Program for
Better Handwriting, is still completely handwritten, and includes a new
supplementary section with a complete review of basic and cursive italic. A
newly illustrated ergonomically efficient pen hold will help those of you who
get hand cramps from holding your writing instruments too tightly
Illegible handwriting is a nationally recognized problem, which becomes more
evident each time we fill out a form that asks us to “Please Print.” Many of us
print our handwritten correspondence as a matter of course because we have long
ago given up on our ability to write a legible looped cursive. The legibility of
italic stems from the complete absence of the loop in all the letterforms. The
root of the letterform is used, nothing more, resulting in a crisp, clear
handwriting that is as legible as it is simple and elegant. So clear and legible
in fact, that Barbara and Inga have just recently given their 160th handwriting seminar to physicians and medical professionals. If they can teach doctors how to write legibly, imagine what they can do for the rest of us!
